About this Program

How does the course work?

Online sessions: Live online sessions will be conducted once a week for four weeks. Each session is 90 minutes in length. You'll participate via the WebEx Training Center platform plus a teleconference for audio. Special software is not required. All you need is a standard web browser and a telephone to participate!

Opportunities for Application: Through interactive group discussion, a readiness assessment, practice exercises, knowledge checks, and a multi-part case study, participants will be given opportunities to apply their new knowledge and skills and share experiences with the program participants.

Discussion Board: A discussion board will be available throughout the program. The instructor will post information and discussion topics. Participants may post questions for the instructor and topics for discussion as well.

Resource Materials: Participants will receive a downloadable participant guide to accompany each week’s session. You will receive an email about one week prior to the session with WebEx instructions, dial-instructions, and pre-work/reading.

Note for planning: Participants are asked to complete case study work and application exercises, and participate in discussion board conversations with fellow classmates throughout each of the four weeks. This time commitment, while not extensive, is in addition to each weekly online session.
